reviewed Shakespeare's face on September 26, 2020 Shakespeare's face
My rating might be influenced by my fascination with Shakespeare, but I think this multi-faceted collection of essays will appeal to loads of people, even those who give not a fig whether a painting owned by a retired Ontario engineer actually depicts the Bard of Avon.
The process of determining the authenticity of a portrait -- from the clues in the way the fabric is painted to the C-14 dating -- is absorbing.
Nolen, the report who brought this story to the Globe and Mail in the early 2000s, has wisely decided to let the experts -- the art historians, the chemists, the Shakespeare scholars, the archivists -- express their own views.
In the end, it doesn't change the plays if this is a real portrait. The process of the detective work is a fascinating read.
